Original Filed March 6,, 1944 L M A w 9 2 7 m v N M W e ON 0 v Q @m Patented Feb. 27, 1945 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Divided and this application October 3, 1944, Serial No. 556,985

2 Claims.

My invention relates to improvements in garment hangers of the type forming the subject matter of my copending application Serial No. 525,227, filed March 6, 1944, and of which the instant application is a division.

The principal object of the instant invention is to provide a garment hanger of skeleton form equipped with improved facilities for hanging Referring to the drawing by numerals, my improved garment hanger as illustrated comprises a skeleton frame of the usual shape constructed entirely of wire and, including shoulder portions 20, 2| of wire, and a bottom horizontal portion 22, the upper parts of the shoulder portions 20, 2| being twisted, as at 23, to form a bearing for a (swivel) hook 24.

The shoulder portion 2| is interrupted to provide apair of inwardly extending parallel members 25, 26 which, at their inner ends, and beyond the mid-point of the hanger, cross each other, as at 21, and extend upwardly and downwardly, as at 28, 29, to merge with the shoulder portion 20 and the horizontal portion 22, respectively.

As will be noted, the outer end of the member 26 bulges upwardly, as at 30, so as to provide an obstacle against which a garment may engage to prevent easy displacement of the garment from the slot 3| defined by the members 25,. 26. This reduces the size of the opening so as not to materially weaken the shoulder portion 2|. Also by reducing the size of the opening the shoulder portion of a dress at the opening is prevented from sagging or wrinkling.

The foregoing will, it is believed, suflice to impart a clear understanding of my invention without further explanation.

Manifestly, the invention, as described, is susceptible of modification without departing from the inventive concept, and right is herein reserved to such modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. A garment hanger comprising a hangershaped body having a hanger hook, said body having an inwardly disposed slot from one shoul der portion thereof extending substantially horizontally in the body, said body being constructed of wire, said slot being provided by a pairo-f inwardly disposed wire members, the inner ends of which cross and connect to the upper and lower portions of the hanger.

2. A garment hanger comprising a hangershaped body having a hanger hook, said body having an inwardly disposed slot from one shoulder portion thereof extending substantially hori zontally in the body, said body being constructed of wire, said slot being provided by a pair of inwardly disposed wire members, the inner ends of which cross and connect to the upper and lower portions of the hanger, said wire members defining a 's1ot opening through one shoulder of the body, the lower wire member being bulged atthe said shoulder to define a garment abutment.
